massive fps lag?

hello mmo-c,

when i play Minecraft i can play fine for like 15mins, then i start getting massive FPS lag, no matter what i am doing, my FPs drops from 100+ down to 0-5, then every few seconds it shoots up to normal again for a second then back down, so its un-playable. i have updated my java and such

just to add, if i pause the game, the FPS shoots back up to 100+ sometimes even 200 while paused, then as soon as i return to game, the fps drops again

have you tried the ingame settings render distance to lowest graphics to fast and performance to max fps ?

ok thanks that works, but why do i need to go on lowest settings :\

GPU overheating? I mean when I paused with default texture pack my card went to 100% usage and ~80 °C.
No idea how high the fps was, didn't have anything to show it.
Fixed it by installing 128x128 HD texturepack.
Though this is just speculation, and is most likely wrong.
Have you upgraded your pc recently?

Minecraft isn't fully optimized yet, so high end GPU's tend to overkill it.
This will force Vsync for minecraft.

thanks, will try tommorow as i am off to bed now, but i never had the problem when i had my ATI raedon 4870hd, will come back tomorow and say if its worked or not

Is this in both single and multiplayer? I ask because there are problems with the game, at least that I've found, where running AI-based addons like Millenaire can absolutely kill your performance.

yes both, but i am not running any mods or texture packs :\
